Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 10 slices brioche bread (or your favorite bread)
  • Butter (for griddle or pan)

For Serving

  • Maple syrup
  • Butter
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Griddle: Preheat your electric griddle and set it aside while preparing the batter to ensure it reaches the perfect cooking temperature.
  2. Mix Batter: In a large shallow pan or mixing bowl (a 9×13 pan works well), whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare Griddle: Lightly butter the preheated griddle to prevent sticking and to add a rich flavor to the French toast.
  4. Dip Bread: Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg and pumpkin mixture, coating both sides thoroughly and allowing the bread to soak up some of the mixture without becoming overly saturated.
  5. Cook Bread: Place the soaked bread slices on the griddle and cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Flip carefully to cook evenly on both sides.
  6. Repeat: Continue dipping and cooking the remaining bread slices until all are cooked and the batter is used up.
  7. Serve: Serve the Pumpkin French Toast warm topped with maple syrup, extra butter, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar to taste.

Notes

  • Using a shallow 9×13 pan for the egg mixture makes dipping the bread easier and helps the bread soak evenly.
  • If you don’t have an electric griddle, a non-stick skillet over medium heat works perfectly.
  • French toast is best enjoyed warm right after cooking but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen up to 2 months.
  • Reheat refrigerated or frozen French toast in a toaster or microwave before serving.
  • You can use other types of bread such as challah, sourdough, or whole wheat depending on your preference.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a vegan butter alternative.
